5 Steps to a DevOps Transformation

Add to calendar

For any continuously improving organization, certain actions are commonly applicable when going through large amounts of change. Dan Barker walks through the five steps to transformational change that he's found to be crucial for moving to DevOps processes: establish the vision; create shared experiences; educate, educate, educate; find evangelists; and get feedback. Dan will elaborate on each item with methods he's used in real transformations at multiple companies. He'll also describe how these all tie into the DevOps culture, which is really what is being transformed in the company. You will explore examples to discuss and ideas to implement, as well as get additional resources for learning more. You'll walk away with new ideas of how to manage a large change in a company.
